Testimonials

“Truth in music is being able to realise the full potential of your craft. To celebrate that which runs so deep down in your veins by creating a lasting record of your inner most emotions in material music form. That is what I got to do at The True Vine. With Adam I found a kinship and desire for the same ideal, he connected to my music and made it as important to himself as it is to me. A quality in an engineer and producer that is the mark of genius. Our journey was deep, fun, tiring, hysterical, full of love and madness and all of this made the experience truly rich and ultimately, became the truth of the music we captured. For me, I could not have recorded this album anywhere else and achieved the same magic. Whilst we found it together, without Adam, we never would have gotten close.”

— Rob Allen - Encircling Sea/Vaiya/Of Hearth and Home

“The True Vine is a rarity amongst recording studios; a professional level recording studio with a deeply creative heart, housed in a warm and nurturing space designed to inspire and facilitate creative energies. With a selection of top quality recording equipment and exotic instruments scattered about the place, The True Vine is where you can fully realise your music, rather than simply record it.”

— Zac & Holly Winterwood - Winterwood/Otamo/East Cape Calling

‘It’s a warm and inviting place. It’s a place where music is treasured; part of everyday life. Above all, it oozes creativity, and it’s one of the most uplifiting and inspiring environments…’

— Gilbert Potts - Echoes & Dust Magazine

“Adam Casey: a gentleman, an artist, a technician, all to the highest degree. Recording at The True Vine was the experience I always hoped for: meticulous, relaxed and above all, about the music.”

— Gabriel Piras - Brothers Harvest/The Guilts/Plastic Palace Alice

“The True Vine is a creative environment where one can focus on what is important - making music. Every finest nuance of the recording process is taken care of so discreetly and effortlessly you’d swear Adam Casey is telepathic, and the results speak for themselves - it’s like he’s managed to find a place for a microphone inside your mind’s ear! Sheer sonic perfection!”

— Chris Rainier

“Adam knows how to guide an idea to it’s fullest musical realization. He understands the craft from all angles – as a performer, arranger, technician, and passionate listener- and is able to create the perfect space for his collaborators to do their best work.”

— Mat Sweeney, musical director Four Larks Theatre

“In the years I’ve known Adam Casey, as both a musician and engineer, his recordings and mixes have increasingly been solid, detailed and a pleasure to work on. Adam’s passion for capturing the authentic tones and dynamics of less than ‘ordinary’ instruments, and a diverse outlook on music, have always impressed me. Amidst the relaxing atmosphere of The True Vine, you get not only pro-active know-how, dedication and experience, but also the ‘okay, sure, let’s try that!’ passion and willingness to be experimental when needed.”

— Adam Dempsey, Mastering Engineer, Deluxe Mastering

“We wanted to enhance the spirit and overall experience of the recording process so we came from the Northeastern US to work and play with Adam. I believed an escape from our element was needed to achieve a stronger spiritual connection to the music. It exceeded our expectations and then some. I knew Adam would do a great job, but he added something to the music I never realized was needed. It was meant to be.”

— Joe Sanci, Water Temples/Mantis Mass
